Project: Graduation Canvas
SUPPLIES:
2 - 12" x 12" canvases
Teal acrylic paint & brush
Pink geometric paper (or paper of your choice)
"Yes" glue
ATG adhesive (optional)
Mod Podge & brush
Hot glue & hot glue gun
Antiquing gel
Silk flowers
Beaded dragon fly
Pencil
Photos of your choice
Letter stickers (of your choice)
Number stickers (of your choice)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Paint the 2 12" x 12" canvases with teal acrylic paint.

2. Cut a 6" x 6" square from the pink geometric paper. Adhere with the "Yes" glue to the top left corner of the top canvas. Scuff up the paint on the canvas and apply Antiquing gel. This gives a slight aging effect.

3. Hot glue selected flowers to the canvas. Wrap the tail of the beaded dragon fly around a pencil to give it a curling effect and to extend it out from the flowers. Glue between flowers to canvas.

4. Place photos on canvases as desired. I used an ATG adhesive. "Yes" glue can also be used.

5. Dry brush Mod Podge over the top of the canvases to add a protective finish.

6. Stick the letters and numbers to the canvases. Hot glue the bottom of the top canvas to the top of the bottom canvas. Using a staple gun, staple sides and center back of canvases together.
